The article below about Arabs may
upset a lot of the PC people who will read it. This article is based on
my own experience
being born and raised in Lebanon
for twenty-two years, including fifteen years of the Lebanese civil war
and the first Gulf war in 1991. Some may say that it is not fair to generalize
because not all Arabs are like what I am describing. Yes I can generalize;
because generalization is talking about the majority and not the minority.
I am convinced that what I am saying applies to the majority of the Arab
society; make it the vast majority.
No people in the world today has
suffered from more crushing defeats than the Arabs. In the last one thousand
year, the Arabs have lost every war they fought. The psychology of defeat
is so deeply rooted among Arabs, that it has created the strongest feeling
of delusion that can ever plague a society. This state of delusion has
created in them an extremely foolish state of denial that the West cannot
comprehend. Reality and Arabs cannot go together and that where many problems
stem out.
During their fifty-five years conflict
with the state of Israel, the Arabs have lost every war. The defeats were
very crushing. In June 1967, Israel destroyed three Arabs armies in six
days and triples its size. The Arabs were claiming great victory in these
six days and they were comparing Israelis Air force to flies; the same
flies that totally abolished the Arabs Air force in the first three hours
of the war. In October 6 1973, Syria and Egypt launched an offensive where
they had achieved very little gains in the first few days, but after two
weeks they were totally crushed by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel
made more territory gains in Syria and Egypt then they did in 1967. Today
Arabs still celebrate 1973 as a victory and they have October 6 as national
holiday in Syria.
The crushing defeat that the Arabs
have suffered at the hands of Israel had worsened the state of delusion
and denial that they have suffered from for hundred of years. Even worse,
it created unimaginable hate and anger not only to Israel but also to the
West in general and to the United States in particular. Because of this,
many Arabs are living in the last twenty years in a more fatal delusion
where they think that they are going to destroy the United States of America
and establish a new world order ruled by an Arabic Islamic empire.
When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait
in August 2nd 1990, many Arabs were cheering the invasion because they
thought this man is the new leader that will unify the whole of the Arab
WORLD and lead them to the ultimate victory against Israel and the United
States. In fact they strongly believed that the Iraqi army will crush the
US military and they were eagerly waiting for the show down to come. When
the war started on January 17 1991, the vast majority of Arabs strongly
believed that the United States will suffer ten of thousands of death and
will flee the Middle East. In fact in the Arab streets they were talking
about these imaginary victories that the Iraqis were achieving against
the US and its allies. When the war ended in late February 1991, the Arab
street could not believe that the Iraqi army can be crushed so quickly
and they start introducing all the conspiracy scenarios between Saddam
and the US where Saddam invade Kuwait so the US will come kick out and
control the Arab oil in the Middle, in return the that Saddam stay in power
and get US protection. You may not have heard this here in the US but these
are the wild and delusional stories that I have heard in the Arab street
and the Arab media.
Enter the most delusional of all
Arabs; the Islamic fundamentalists. Those people strongly believe that
they can defeat the United States and rule the world through the Islamic
shari'aa and few events in the last twenty years that fueled their delusions.
In October 23rd 1983, a Islamic suicide terrorist destroyed the Marines
barrack in Beirut Lebanon killing 241 of our military. The United States
withdraw shortly after that and many Arabs claim they have achieved victory.
I remember the cheers and the firing of AK 47 in the streets of Islamic
West Beirut celebrating the presumed defeat of the United States. This
event emboldened Arabs and Muslim fundamentalists and they start hitting
us here and there without any real response from the United States. Finally,
they thought they would deal us a final blow, so they came on September
11 and killed thousands of us. A large number of Arabs and Muslims were
cheering that day and their delusions of a final victory against the United
States grow from bad to worse to the worst.
When we went to Afghanistan to remove
the Taliban and AL-Qaeda, the Arab street and the Arab media said that
we will face the same fate of the Soviet Union and Britain before us. We
removed the Taliba in three weeks and Al Qaeda is on the run all over the
world. When we set up to remove Saddam Hussein, the Arab street and the
Arab media thought that we will loose ten of thousands of soldiers in streets
fights in the Iraqi cities. To their ultimate shock Saddam Hussein and
his regime fell in three weeks with very few casualties and this defeat
was extremely hard for them to accept or comprehend. Now after seven months
of our occupation in Iraq, we are facing an insurgency of few thousands
and the Arabs strongly believe in their delusional mind that we are going
to loose this war and withdraw. Even worse, many Arabs think that Saddam
deliberately gave up Iraq so he can engage in a guerilla warfare against
the US, defeat them and return to victorious to power. They think if they
kill few hundred of our troops we will leave running like what we did in
1983 in Beirut. What the Arab do not understand because of their perpetual
state of delusion that after 9/11 America will not leave the Middle East
until we root out terrorism once and for all.
